MUSIC AT THE MONT.
THE LAST RECITAL OF THE CURRENT YEAR
ATNT. De CHANTAID
A Fine Programme Beautifully Rendered BY the
Pupils Of the Institution Conferred
b. Rt Rev. Bishop Kain, Who
Makes an Address.

The last musical recital of the current
year, was anticipated with more than
ordinary interest by the pupils OF Mt. de
Chantal, for at its close quarterly tickets
were to be distributed to all who, during
the few months Just past, had distinguish
ed themselves by their general attention to
study and observance of the rules OF the
school. No little self-denial being neces-
sary to gain these cards Of merit, they are
regarded as high honor; and it was with
much pleasurable expectation that the
young ladies assembled in the Music Hall
on this occasion. The evenings entertain
ment opened with a vocal solo by Miss
Nellie Flynn, of Atlanta, Ga. Her voice
is soft and pleasing in quality and she sang
lob, Fair Dove" by Gatty, with much
taste; astonishing all by the progress she
has made in few months. Miss Emma
Kerrisk, of Bermuda, was too much over
come by embarrassment to do justice TO her
piano solo, "Regoletti, ," but the taste dis
played in some portions OF her piece, as
well as good position OF her
hands and her sweetness OF touch, gave
evidence Of ability, and we hope for bet
ter success next time. Miss Lottie Wat
erhouse followed with a short anecdote
which she read distinctly and intelligent
ly. A very graceful song by GuonOd,
Again My Gentle Lutte" wHs sung by
Miss Jennie Duncan, of CeredO, w. Va,
in an appreciative manner. Miss Duncan
has gained in ease and grace since last We
heard her, and deserved the applause
awarded her. In the Sonata by Mozart,
which concluded Part l., Miss Anna Nor
an, of Emlenton, Pa, eyinced marked
ability. Brilliancy of execution is a
special characteristic of her playing, and
although with her also embarrassment
caused some slips, the number was most
enjoyable.
Part II. opened witha song by Donizetti,
"Spiritu Gentil" In this Miss Kate Dee
CAMS voice was heard to much advantage,
and she sang with taste and feeling Little
Miss Lizzie Moore read q selection entitled
1.-THE Mischief Maker" and accomplished
her task without hesitation; but the voice
was weak from timidity and many words
were lost 10 the audience. Miss Jennie
Duncan, whose name has already figured
in our account, played "PizZicate," by
Delibes, with great dash and spirit, and
without hesitation. She will, it is hoped,
become fine pianist. Miss Lang's harp
solo, welsh Melody" was one of the NEST
pleasing features of the evening. She played
with ease, grace and finish, and we are
always pleased to find her name on the
programme. The two remaining numbers
were remarkably well rendered. These
were two songs ~ entirely different in SEN
timent and character AZ the voices which
gave them. Memberships "IIere Meath
the Trees am Lying" is composition
full of pain and sorrow, requiring both
pathOs and culture, and Miss Healy dis
played both in an unusual degree. My
Heart with Joy is Bounding Light" WAS
sung by Miss Teresa Maser with all the
lightness and grace of clear flute-like
was delightful. This joyous song was o
fitting introduction TO the distribution OF
honors mentioned above, which
were awarded by the 1T. Rev.
